This has recently been reduced to $799 pp plus tax on a few sites. In my humble opinion waitlists are no big deal and guarantee inside cabins akmost always end up as an upgrade. This is a great deal in my book.

While it's an awesome deal, not many people can sit around and wait until the last minute to see if they're going to be sailing on a 23-night cruise or not. And if they're lucky enough to get a cabin, then they have to worry about purchasing very expensive last minute one-way tickets either to San Francisco to get on the cruise or from Australia to get back home.
